richard burton

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'film star' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'burr hit conrad in play' is the wordplay.
'in play' is an anagram indicator (letters play around).
'burr'+'hit'+'conrad'='burrhitconrad'
'burrhitconrad' anagrammed gives 'RICHARD BURTON'.

Can you help me to learn more?
